Direct tempo control for local audio

Audio Tempo Changer

Load audio, move the tempo multiplier, and audition slower or faster playback with pitch preservation under your control.

Choose an audio file. It will stay on this device.

Accepted input depends on browser decoding support. This page caps the selected file at 100 MiB and creates no upload or server copy.

Use the multiplier when no BPM entry is needed

This page is for direct rehearsal and listening control. Move below normal speed to inspect a phrase or above normal speed to audition a faster pass; the current multiplier stays visible next to the control.

Preserved pitch and tape-style playback are explicit

Keep Preserve pitch on when you want the same musical key at a different tempo. Turn it off when the desired effect is coupled speed and pitch, as with changing tape or record speed.

A/B checking stays simple

Return the slider to normal speed for the source feel, then move back to the chosen multiplier. Because playback uses the same local file, no upload delay or server-rendered copy sits between comparisons.

Questions

These answers cover privacy, quality boundaries, and file support.

Does the tool export a processed file?

No. This page is a local playback tool; it does not claim to render a new file.

Can time stretching create artifacts?

Browser pitch compensation can sound less natural at large tempo changes, especially on dense mixes and exposed vocals.

What happens when I clear the page?

Playback stops and the temporary object URL is revoked.

Sources used for tempo behavior

The implementation follows HTMLMediaElement playbackRate and preservesPitch as documented by MDN and the HTML standard; the page states its local preview boundary directly.
